Condensed consolidated interim financial statements

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

For the six months period ended 30 June 2010

 

 

Madagascar is continuing to experience a period of political upheaval and uncertainty. Although the Company has not, in any way, been negatively affected by these events, it has resolved to take a cautious approach to exploration and accordingly has not conducted exploration activities during the first-half of the current financial year and does not expect to undertake any material exploration activities in Madagascar whilst this period of uncertainty prevails. Given these circumstances, the Directors have resolved that it is appropriate to recognise an impairment adjustment of £655,000 against the carrying value of this intangible asset.

 NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six months period ended 30 June 2010

 

1. General information

UMC Energy Plc is a company incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 1985. The Company's registered office is 11 Albemarle Street, London, W1S 4HH.

The principal activity of the Group is the investment in and exploration and development of uranium mining projects, specifically in an uranium exploration project in Madagascar.

The Group's principal activity is carried out in US dollars. The interim results are presented in pounds sterling as this is the currency of the country (the UK) where the Company is incorporated and its ordinary shares admitted for trading.

2. Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2009.

 

The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 28 September 2010.

 

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2009.

 

Going Concern

The interim results have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial report on a going concern basis as they are confident that the Company will be able to raise additional funds through debt or equity raisings when required. The directors are of the opinion that the proposed debt or equity raising measures and the existing cash resources will provide sufficient funds to enable the Company to continue its operations for at least the next twelve months.

4. Segmental analysis

The Group has one reportable segment which is that of the investment directly and indirectly in, and operation of, mining exploration and development projects. The Group's operational activities are wholly focused in Madagascar. The Company's registered office is in London, UK. The Board of Directors review internal management reports at least monthly.

The Group has not yet commenced commercial mining production and has no turnover in the year.

Information regarding the results of the reportable segments is shown below. Performance is measured based on the segment profit before income tax as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Board of Directors. There is no inter- segment pricing.

5. Taxation

No provision for corporation tax has been provided for, due to losses incurred in the current and previous periods.

6. Loss per share

Loss per share has been calculated by dividing the loss for the period after taxation attributable to the equity holders of the parent company of £731,913 (30 June 2009: £210,300) by the weighted average number of shares in issue at the period end of 244,444,763 (30 June 2009: 30,806,668).

Diluted loss per share has been calculated using the weighted average number of shares in issue at the period end, diluted for the effect of share options and warrants in existence at the period end of 246,036,237 (30 June 2009: 32,523,142).

The development expenditure relates to development of the uranium exploration project in the Morondava basin of Madagascar.

 

The licences relate to uranium exploration licences in the Morondava basin of Madagascar.

 

Following an impairment review, an impairment adjustment of £655,000 was recognised in relation to the Morondava uranium project.

 

The project has yet to reach a stage of development where a determination of the technical feasibility or commercial viability can be assessed. In addition, as Madagascar is presently experiencing a period of political upheaval and uncertainty, the Company has resolved to take a cautious approach to exploration and accordingly has not conducted exploration activities during the first-half of the current financial year and does not expect to undertake any material exploration activities in Madagascar whilst this period of uncertainty prevails. In these circumstances, whether there is any indication that the asset has been impaired is a matter of judgement, as is the determination of the quantum of any required impairment adjustment. The directors have used their experience to conclude that an impairment adjustment of £655,000 is required in the current period (30 June 2009: £nil).

 

 

8. Post balance sheet events

 

Since 1 July 2010, the Company has advanced a further US$6,765 to Uramad SA.

 

Since 1 July 2010, the Company has borrowed a further A$153,000 from Natasa Mining

Ltd, for working capital.
